The KGF stock changed its trend in November of 2022 after being on a bullish trend for some time, with both short-term investors and traders enjoying the upward rally. The KGF stock price has been moving up and down since May this year because buyers and sellers are struggling to agree on a fair price after a big change in the market. However, this trend soon came to an end as the stock broke its major support level of £250 at the end of May
